Friedrich Nietzsche - How To Find Your Inner Genius (Existentialism)
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and was one of the main precursors of existentialism. He was definitely a genius. He started to learn Greek alphabet and to play piano when he was only 3 years old, he was one of the brightest students and at age of 23, he was the youngest Professor of Greek Linguistics. He was a very close friend of the famous composer Richard Wagner and with other famous personalities and he later became one of the greatest philosophers of all time. He wrote several books, including “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”, “Beyond Good and Evil”, “The Birth of Tragedy”, “The Twilight of the Idols” and his teachings continue to shock the world, even today. For Nietzsche, history itself is a process of creating geniuses; each genius is somebody who creates the mental world in which his successors will live. In other words, the history of the world follows the work of the geniuses. Although Nietzsche’s life took a tragic turn, he created a new mental world to inspire generations. His teachings inspire everyone who dreams of becoming a genius, helping them to find that inner voice to guide them throughout their life. According to Nietzsche, if you don’t cultivate your inner genius, if you don’t own yourself, you have lived a life of “laziness.” Certain steps in life can only be walked by you and only by discovering that inner genius can you walk that path.
So to help you uncover your own path, in this video, we bring you 7 ways in which you can find your inner genius, from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche -
01. Be yourself
02. Be a genius of the heart
03. Protect your genius from the herd
04. Genius is no accident
05. Don’t resent geniuses if you want to become one
07. Learn to be diligent
08. Be grateful and “clean”
I hope you enjoyed watching these 7 ways in which you can find your inner genius, from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and find them helpful in your life.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.

Philosophy of mediocrity. We compare ourselves to others in order to have something to strive for. We are NOT perfect as we are. No one is the best, there is always someone better. We find someone better and we aspire to match them, to beat them. Don't live and die by others but do compare yourselves to those you admire and do what you can to become what you admire. Or you can choose to be a loser, getting nowhere and spewing platitudes like op did.

nop, for nietzsche few people would be a genius. He says in one of his books that an era of men are just a way of life create 5 or 6 men, the crowd is a redundancy to give birth to the highest men, who are very few. It's what I read in one of his books. BUT, his conseption of superman is a society of genius, moral genius, but we are far of this superman nowadays

Rather than finding, I'd say "cultivate"... it requires a certain shift in consciousness that doesn't happen on its own

[@helenaville5939]

But to cultivate suggests it doesn't yet exist. To find it suggests it already exists in us.

@@helenaville5939 Well, even if it already exists, it takes training to tap into it

[@armandfoumane5176]

The line between genuity and madness is slim. They both arise from our desires and how they have been nurtured overtime. Attaining genus status is the result of a prolong period of practice, patience, patterns and perfection. While madness is the product of constant comparison, self judgement, insatiety and lack of discipline. Although you need others to serve as a yardstick for improvement, the goal is to be a better you as the sun rise and fall each day!❤

'Be yourself' tends to come off as very cheesy advice but I honestly think that authenticity is probably the most important aspect of a life well lived. We tend to spend way more time than we should on worrying about things that, at the end of the day, will only possibly guarantee some level of respect from society at large. But in order to actually live, it's important to carve out your own path in life even if that means that you won't be as respected as you could've been. This isn't an excuse to not better yourself or deliberately go out of your way to annoy people, but to rather be ok with that as a possible end result.

The bigger problem for a woman is the intense pressure to put off becoming a mother, or not become one at all. 2I fell into this trap, believing the propaganda. And now it is too late. I’ll never have a family of my own. Raising a young mind to become a rational adult is the most noble and rewarding of all professions. You can always go back and start an education or a career later in life. People do it all the time. But fertility dies. And if you don’t want to risk birth defects, you should do it young.
